Prayer for Beginners Paper back - 2000

by PETER KREEFT

  • New

Description

Ignatius Press, March 2000. Paper Back. New. ''There are thousands of books on how to pray, some of them very good ones. Why another? How is this one different? Because this one could have been titled ''Prayer for Dummies,'' prayer for people who are not very good at praying, people who find it hard to pray, not people who find it easy -- in other words, people like me. And it is also ''prayer for Marthas,'' not for Marys: for people with little time to pray, busy people who keep finding excuses not to pray -- in other words, people like me'' (from the book). Some writers, when they try to simplify a complex issue, end up adding another layer of complexity. Not Peter Kreeft. He is eminently clear, eminently reasonable, communicating his message in straightforward propositions that plumb the riches of the Christian experience of prayer and apply them to the nub of our ''problems'': why, when, where, and how to pray, developing a rule, praying the Name of Jesus, praying unceasingly, praying and confessing, praying in suffering, praying perseveringly. A book for people like you and me.
